Baby girl update

So I have been seeing the doc every Monday and Thursday now for about 6 weeks. It sure is getting old. I have a non-stress test, ultrasound and see the doc on Monday, and on Thursday it is the same except for the u/s.

Today I was having contractions every two minutes during the non-stress test and the baby's heart wasn't very reactive. They mostly want to see her pulse going up and back down to baseline at least 5 times in 30 minutes. Since that didn't happen, I had a u/s too and the tech had to jab her with the wand to make her wake up and prove she wasn't in distress at all. She passed that test but definitely wasn't cooperative. We even watched her yawn and stick her tongue out at us while we were watching her. I have a feeling that my mom's curse might come to pass and we are gonna get a girl just like me. That is trouble with a capital T. My BP was up a bit, but not enough to keep me today, so we just keep on keepin' on!

This has happened with DB and JT.....I was either hospitalized or kept for an extensive appt a week prior to actually having them delivered, so we will see what the next week brings us. I just really hope that I am not in the hospital for my DB's b-day.

We went ahead and scheduled her delivery on October 19th, assuming she doesn't come before that, so we will definitely have a baby by then! YAY!
